But it's the Damage Step, is it not?

 

I was under the impression that only ATK/DEF affecting effects and Spell Speed 3 Effects could be activated then.

 

- Quick effects that alter ATK/DEF

- Quick effects that negate the activation of cards and effects

- Flip effects

- Compulsory trigger effects

 

amongst some others.

I went on an enormous analysis of Galaxy-Eyes on the DN forums and came to the conclusion it could NOT chain multiple times similar to how Formula Synchron cannot activate multiple times in the same chain, even though it's also a Quick Effect that removes itself from the Field during resolution, but otherwise has no limit on using its effect.

 

My conclusion was it could not because you would be ensuring one of the previous activations would not resolve, comparing it to the idea of Ultimate Offering, which can activate multiple times in the same chain, but only if you currently have enough resources to play the number of monsters you're attempting to Summon.

 

I did ask darkwolf afterwards and was told my logic was sound, with a confession that he was not positive.

 

Then again, Konami has evidently ruled on Duality that if you negate an effect that Summons (with Veiler, etc), you still can't use Duality in the same turn. Actually, this ruling is more confusing than the one I had accepted as true.

 

I don't see why it would be allowed to chain multiple times in the same chain.

 

If the email had originally asked about Galaxy-Eyes vs LADD, I'm going to note that Galaxy-Eyes can theoretically use its effect multiple times within the same ATTACK if the effect was negated by LADD (since it can be used any time during the Battle Step, which is the period from Attack Declaration to Damage Step), but I'm skeptical about the same chain.

 

Sadly, that source may not be "official", but that's how it's ruled unless a public ruling by an official source contradicts it. Maybe when WC12 comes out, unless that doesnt have Galaxy-Eyes.

Strange situation I encountered:

I control Light and Darkness Dragon and Dupe Frog.

LADD is destroyed, and its effect activates.

I target Swap Frog, then destroy all cards I control, and special summon it.

If I am correct, neither Swap nor Dupe misses the timing, because I believe that for LADD, the destruction and the special summon occur at the same time, but I'm not sure.

LADD destroys and then Special Summons a monster. That's all one part of a chain.

 

Then a new chain would start from Swap. Dupe misses the timing because the last thing to happen was a Special Summon, not its destruction.

Can Thought Ruler Archfiend protect itself frrom Hornet, since Konami thinks it's a Spell?

And even if so, isn't it sad that it makes no difference whether Hornet is negated or not?

Konami is ridiculous

Thought ruler archfiend can only negate the initial activation of a spell or trap card,not a spell or trap card effect,inzektor hornet activates as an equip spell card effect,so thought ruler cannot negate it.

Because Light and Darkness Dragon negates the activation of an effect but does not destroy the card, could a player continuously use the effect of Gallis and force LADD to negate until it has no attack?

 

Yes.

 

A bunch of cards can loop their activations to dwindle down LADD, including Honest, Treeborn Frogs, Lightsworn mills, Lyla, etc.

Honest's cost is sending it though, is it not? Treeborn, Lightsworns, and cards that reveal themselves to do something can be reused because they're where they need to be to activate after being negated. Honest is a cost no? Costs aren't negated.

If I discard Cerburrel for Snipe Hunter in order to destroy Dolkka, how does that play out? Can Dolkka negate them both?

Cerburrel starts another chain.

 

Snipe Hunter discards.

Dollka negates and destroys.

Chain Ends.

 

Cerburrel's effect activates

Dollka negates and destroys.

Chain Ends.
